Hello!

Hello! My name is Doreen. I'm a 28 year old artist from The Netherlands. I've been running roundbirbart since 2020 and became a full-time bird artist in 2023! Over the years I've designed pins of both rare and common birds.

Webshop | IG | BSKY | Twitter | Discord Server

Today I'm bringing you a set of pins featuring birds local to me! I gained more appreciation for the birds closest to me through volunteering at my local bird shelter, Vogelklas Karel Schot. I want to support their great work at helping our city birds in need. Backing "Birds of Rotterdam" will therefore also benefit the bird rescue, because for every unlocked pin design, 5 pins will be donated to the rescue for them to sell at open days and fundraising events.

Freebies!

For Pintopia 2025 we've teamed up with "Frogtastic Frogs"! Check out our cute cross-collab freebies ✨ Backers of both of our projects will receive the lily pad frog and the lily pad duckling for free.



Pick up a free ANGRY goose when you pledge for 4 pins or more!



Early birds will get a free holographic pigeon sticker of their choice. Pledge in the first 48hrs to be eligible for this freebie. Returning backers will get a free crow sticker of their choice.

Birds of Rotterdam Pins

Time to meet the birdies! There are 13 goals to unlock in this campaign. Each goal unlocks a new set of pins.
Unless stated otherwise, the pins will be hard enamel, made out of gold plated zinc alloy. Each pin comes with two posts with rubber clutches. They will also have a back stamp, and come on a backing card. The pins range in sizes from 30mm to 60mm.



* Starling will have rainbow plating and epoxy-filled soft enamel, instead of gold plating and hard enamel

Goal 1 also unlocks the angry Canada goose freebie! If you back Birds of Rotterdam for 4 pins or more, you will get this angry honk for free. Let him destroy your enemies. If you like the Canada goose pin but are not planning to pledge for 4+ pins, you can also select it as a pledge reward during your survey.

Add-ons

Next to the enamel pins in this campaign, we're also offering the following add-ons:



Washi paper stickersheets & vinyl stickers:
All of the designs on the stickersheets will be available as vinyl stickers as well




Keychains:




Crow & Pigeon hair claws:

These are factory photos, better photos coming soon! These samples are not final yet, I'm going to see if I can move the curve of the hair claw away from the face.

Socks:

These socks are some of my older designs, but I think they fit the campaign well! They are made of a cotton blend. Available in three sizes: 

S (EU 35 - 38, US M 3.5 - 5.5, W 5 - 7) 
M (EU 38 - 43, US M 5.5 - 9.5, W 7 - 11)
L (EU 43 - 46, US M 9.5 - 13, W 11 - 13)

Shipping

Shipping is collected during the survey, after the campaign is over. Make sure to budget in the estimated shipping cost! We can ship to most countries, including the UK.

Rewards will ship from the Netherlands.

Timeline

This campaign will run for 3 weeks, after which the surveys are sent out. These surveys allow you to specify which pins you want to receive. 
After two weeks, the funds will become available to me and I will place the final order with my manufacturer. The rest of the timeline is estimated with realistic buffers - I hope to ship everything out during or before June.

January - February: "Birds of Rotterdam" campaign is live on BackerKit
February: Surveys are sent out
March: Order is placed with my manufacturer
March - April - May: Production Time
May: The pins arrive at my office!
May - June: Assembling the pins, packaging, and shipping
